New question #150825 on Graphite: https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/150825
I am setting up whisper & carbon and I used this page to set up my storage-schemas.conf: http://graphite.wikidot.com/getting-your-data-into-graphite I decided on the following schema: [default] priority = 100 pattern = .* # 300 seconds for 13 months, 30 minutes for 10 years retentions = 300:116064,1800:178560 Unfortunately it seems like the documentation is wrong. Rather than this being the case (from: http://graphite.wikidot.com/getting-your-data-into-graphite): "Each retention configuration is of the form seconds_per_data_point:data_points_to_store." It appears that each retention configuration is of the form seconds_per_data_point:total_retention_time The reason I say that is that I threw some debug code into the whisper module (0.9.7) to print out the arguments passed to the 'create' function, and I got the following arguments with the config above: create called with: /opt/graphite/storage/whisper/servers/prod-djcore-www1/apache2/qps.wsp, [(300, 386), (1800, 99)], 0.5 Is this a bug or an issue with the documentation? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of graphite-dev, which is an answer contact for Graphite. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~graphite-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~graphite-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
